美國啟動AI曼哈頓計劃 中國重溫原子彈試爆新啟示

中央電視台去年十二月二十八日起在科教頻道播出一套六集的紀錄片，取名《那個瞬間的年代》。由於片名無顯示特定指向，而且是在不顯眼的科教頻道，所以沒有引起注意。原來這是六十年前原子彈試爆，詳盡敘述從構思、設計、製造、試驗等過程。更耐人尋味的是，這套紀錄片製作完成後的二十多年後，直到現在才公開播放。背後有何隱情，難以猜測；但選擇現在公開播放，則似乎有所啟示。

    不說大家可能不知道，象徵西方醫學的蛇杖圖騰，源自希臘神話的「神醫」Asclepius。他手持蛇杖，受阿波羅之神授予醫術，成功醫治許多人。

    Have you noticed that an image of a snake coiled around a staff is often used as a symbol of Western medicine and the medical professional? This originates with the Greco-Roman god of healing, Asclepius, who was depicted alongside a serpent coiled around a staff.
